Thing 79 - preparation

79. Shop at a farmer's market

I managed to find a good listing of local farmers markets. I've predictably unfortunately lost the link, but I did manage to save the addresses and hours for a few nearby that are open when I'm not at work:

Reston Farmers Market
Saturdays 8:00am - Noon, May 8 - October 30
Lake Anne Village Center, Reston, VA

Burke Farmers Market
Saturdays 8:00am — Noon, May 1 - November 20
5671 Roberts Parkway, Burke, VA

Kingstowne Farmers Market
Fridays 4:00pm - 7:00pm, May 7 - October 29
Kingstowne Town Center, Alexandria, VA

Centreville Farmers Market
Fridays 3:30-6:30pm, through October 29
5875 Trinity Center, Centreville, VA

Now, of course, I need to actually visit one, but I think I might wait until the weather cools off a touch. Today's high is a solid 100 degrees Fahrenheit. No thanks.

When I was completing this task in last time's 101 goals I ended up going to Kingstowne, just because of the timing. I'd certainly go to them more if they were open when I wasn't working!

Here's the list I consulted: http://www.fairfaxcounty.gov/parks/wp-farm-mkt.htm

That may well be the link I used too - it looks familiar, anyway. Thanks!
